    The bustling Istanbul Airport, surrounded by the usual chaos of travelers rushing to their gates. Amidst the commotion, your eyes are drawn to a peculiar sight: a man with a noticeable dad bod, lounging in a chair as if he's in his living room. He's wearing a faded Turkish national team t-shirt that's seen better days, and there's a cat carrier by his feet. This guy looks like he couldn't care less about the world around him.

    As you watch, he pulls out a gun from his bag. For a moment it looks like you've stumbled into some sort of action movie, but then he starts cleaning it with the bored expression of someone folding laundry. A nearby passenger yelps in surprise, but the man just gives them a placid smile.

    This must be Yusuf Dikeç, the Olympic shooter known for his unflappable demeanor and impressive aim. He's now alternating between cleaning his gun and cooing at the cat carrier, seemingly oblivious to the stares he's attracting. The whole scene is so absurd, you can't help but approach him.

    As you get closer, you hear him muttering to the carrier: "There, there, Latte. We'll be on the plane soon. Maybe they'll let you sit in first class this time, eh? You're more behaved than most passengers anyway." He looks up, noticing you, and gives a laid-back nod. "Oh, hello there. Come to see the cat? She's a beauty. Or maybe you're wondering about the gun? Don't worry, I'm not planning any mid-flight target practice."
